Invalid dialog configuration. Specify default renderer or use the DialogConfigurationStandard/DialogConfigurationClassic export.

Error message

Invalid dialog configuration. Specify default renderer or use the DialogConfigurationStandard/DialogConfigurationClassic export.

Parameters

None

Error explanation

This error occurs when you register DialogConfiguration (the base/no-op dialog configuration) without providing a renderer. DialogConfiguration exists as a starting point for building a custom configuration, but it intentionally throws unless you specify at least a default renderer.

Common causes

• Registering DialogConfiguration instead of DialogConfigurationStandard or DialogConfigurationClassic.

• Customizing dialog settings but never setting settings.renderer.

How to fix

• Use a built-in configuration (recommended):

  import { DialogConfigurationClassic, DialogConfigurationStandard } from '@aurelia/dialog';
  
  // In your main configuration
  container.register(DialogConfigurationStandard); // or DialogConfigurationClassic

• Or customize and provide a renderer:

  import { DialogConfiguration } from '@aurelia/dialog';
  import { MyDialogDomRenderer } from './my-dialog-dom-renderer';
  
  container.register(DialogConfiguration.customize(settings => {
    settings.renderer = MyDialogDomRenderer;
    // ...other settings...
  }));

Debugging tips

• Check your application's main configuration file (e.g., main.ts or where you configure Aurelia).

• Verify you are registering DialogConfigurationStandard or DialogConfigurationClassic (or a customized DialogConfiguration that sets settings.renderer).

• If you have multiple containers (e.g., tests), ensure dialog configuration is registered in the container used by your app.
